TL:DR: It’s a survey made by developers, so the questions will be relevant plus you will get to learn something new – and it only takes 15 minutes!

We have a load of cool prizes up for grabs, including an Oculus Rift headset, a Pixel Phone, Udemy courses and many, many more. All participants who complete the survey enter a prize draw (held in January).

We’ll make the key findings from this survey available as a free report in February. After completing the survey, you’ll also get the chance to see how your responses compare to other devs’ in your country.

This is a survey that’s actually fun! Once you complete it, you’ll get to find out what kind of character you’d be in a fantasy world, based on your responses: A mage? A bard? A dragon slayer? Take the survey and find out!

If you lived in a fantasy universe, would you be a mage, a ranger or a fighter?

This survey is now more personalised than ever before! As soon as you finish the survey, you’ll get a personalised profile based on your choices, showing what type of developer you are. Trust us – the results will be full of surprises!

After taking the survey, I have realized what learning path to improve more knowledge as a developer. Thanks for the review.
